Nightmare experience with this company. They are not knowledgeable about plants at all and…read morerecommended me a ton of invasive plants that I had no clue of until 4-8 months later I was able to realize the catastrophic damage they have caused. I trusted them and asked for their recommendation and support to plant low maintenance succulents that won't involve much effort. The list of what they did wrong has mounted as time as passed. Majority of the plants that they installed are off shooting and budding in all different areas around the yard. Popping up everywhere lifting the black netting under the rocks. They have a root system that is invasive and they planted plants so close together without realizing how they will overgrow each other. They planted plants who offshoot inches to multiple feet away from where the plant is and start growing in another location halfway across my yard. They planted plants that grow way too large for the space they gave them and they planted plants so close together that once they grew, they quadrupled in size at this point, and now they are on top of each other. They planted plants that offshoot off each other and multiply at the route, causing them to look horrendous and grow out of proportion and springing up all over the yard. They caused such damage with their negligence it's insane! It is going to cost me a fortune to remedy this and I have to do it now before it gets out of control and my whole yard has to be dug out. They also did not properly treat the ground and they did not properly lay the right underlayment properly and missed many areas. They also did not properly pull out and remove former plants at the root so now old plants are growing underneath the new plants. I reached out and sent them half a dozen videos of what happened showing them the incompetence of the recommendations that were made and articles showing that these plants are not recommended at all in the settings they did for me and the damage they already have caused. They are the specialist, you don't go to a doctor and tell the doctor what to do, you trust that that is their job and they know their plants and make recommendations based on your needs and the HOA being manicured. They charged me a bloody fortune thousands and thousands of dollars that now I have an invasive mess in my yard that is going to cost even more to remedy and remove the root systems of these invasive plans they should never have planted. These plants are even growing under my slab and literally many feet away from their original plant. I know that they did not properly treat the ground for weeds because when I had asked them if they could help with resodding my backyard and help address the weeds as part of the job they gave me a different protocol for that which I realized they didn't do it all to the front yard. My yard looks like an out of control jungle. It took me four hours this past weekend to remove a lot of the offshoots. I hurt my back and could not move for days. I even have text messages where I specifically shared what I needed for these plants to encompass, and what they recommended grew to not be that. I gave them the opportunity to fix this and they did not respond back to me. I would caution you to take their advice, they are not real landscaping professionals that actually know their plants and care about their customers outcome after they get their money.

The quote was very reasonably priced and amazing value for the product. I'm extremely happy with the service I received and will continue to use this for landscaping projects in the future.

Can't wait to continue to expand our patio area and outdoor living space with their beautiful vision and projects.

I cannot recommend Adam, with Broward Landscape, highly enough! He went above and beyond anything I…read morecould have ever dreamed up for my yard. Truly a visionary. As we walked the property he was bursting with ideas and helped me see the potential in every corner. From designing a gorgeous pergola to the outdoor kitchen, even down to the thoughtful rock choices and plant varieties, every detail was intentional. He also made sure the landscaping would be beautiful and easy to maintain, which was so important to me. The end result is stunning and far better than I ever imagined. If you want someone creative, professional, and passionate about their craft, look no further.

He is very knowledgeable about plants and design, rocks, etc. Reliable, very honest and a man of his word. Highly recommended and we will hire him again for sure. Thank you, Derek!

So First off, I believe these review sites are worthwhile and that an honest review helps all…read moreparties. So this review will be unbiased and 100% honest. First lets start with the good! Project was fairly large, not hundreds of thousands of dollars but weeks of work and multiple tens of thousands. We interviewed about 6 landscapers over a 4 month period. 2 of them never showed up or failed to deliver a quote. 1 insisted we needed $120k+ to achieve our goals, 1 wanted to work without any permits. Two were reasonable, worked within the law, and responsive. Of course Carlos at Ponderosa Landscaping was one of those. We agreed on a target budget (but this was not a hard number) and Carlos went to work. About a week later I received some digital renderings of his idea and an estimated project cost, just about $2500 over what we asked, and options to bring it down in cost if needed. Another important note, during this week waiting for "photos" I did receive a follow up message stating he was behind schedule but has not forgotten about us. We agreed on the project and got started, We worked with Cory as a supervisor for most of the project, he was very attentive to the details and made any changes we needed promptly without issue. Guys worked nearly every day M-F and some Saturdays for about 3 weeks. We were given notice prior to their arrival every week and prior to any major events such as driveway pours. Of course, changes were made and questions occurred during the project. When these happened, I would text or call Carlos. He was quick to respond, never making me wait over 2-3 hours before I had an answer. Communication was fantastic considering Carlos is a busy contractor. Overall execution of the project, achieving our ideas/dreams within budget and communication gets 5* A+++. Now The areas to watch out for, Carlos's team has some junior members and supervisors are very busy. If you want perfection, you do need to review the site a few times a week and speak up. They are very responsive and will fix things on the spot, but with many guys being junior they may need direction from time to time to achieve your desired outcome. Also, Carlos and I talked about many many things, however not all of them made it into the proposal. Carlos followed the proposal to the T, so things that we decided to "add back" were added at a very reasonable additional cost. Watch your proposal closely and make sure everything you desire is there upon agreeance. We ended up above our agreed amount by about $4000, No issues here on our part, we were very happy and made changes along the way. But if your budget is tight this is something to watch for. Now the only big area that needed to be improved. We agreed to split this project into 3 payments. 1/3 for downpayment and material purchase, 1/3 upon commencement, and 1/3 upon completion. Two of these 3 payments were charged without any notice. As they were very large payments, they put me very close to exceeding credit card limits. While this was not a problem for us, it was annoying and could definitely be improved on in the future. However, if this is the worst you have to deal with concerning a contractor you are definitely winning!!!! Just discuss billing very specifically during your contract agreement. No project this size goes perfect. Upon finishing we had 3 or 4 concerns that Carlos quickly took care of. There was slight damage to both neighbor's front yard (some grass torn up by the tractor and a rock drive messed up by concrete wash water). Carlos was always VERY accountable to mistakes and fixed them promptly without charge. Truly a refreshing and pleasant experience earning him points by everyone in the neighborhood. This project was incredibly fun to watch come to life, completely transformed our property and will be enjoying it for years to come. I would not hesitate to recommend Ponderosa Landscape and Carlos to friends or Family or to hire him again for my next project! Truly a 5* experience!

Ponderosa Landscaping last year redid my backyard drain so that it would go to the front of the house when we would have heavy rain. I have never seen a team so hard. And the work was five stars. And they were very reasonable and communicative. Later, I couldn't find the pop-up drain in the front of the house because the grass had grown over it and I texted the company. Within 24 hours they were over at the house just to help me. I rarely see a company that works so hard to keep the relationship going. If you need any kind of drain work, this is the only company you should be calling.
